President Obama is determined to eradicate the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens.
In recent meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderón, the American President promised to urge the U.S. Senate to pass an international arms control treaty.
The treaty, cumbersomely titled the “Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials” (known by the acronym CIFTA), was signed by President Bill Clinton, but never ratified by the Senate.
President Obama is hoping to capitalize on an increased Democrat majority and push its quick ratification. The U.S. is one of four nations that have not ratified the treaty.
If ratified and the U.S. is found not to be in compliance with any provisions of the treaty -- such as a provision that would outlaw reloading ammunition without a government license -- President Obama would be empowered to implement regulations without Congressional approval.

Back door gun banning via treaty.
Brought to you by the pre-manufactured Anonymous President.
Three Definitions and Something to Think About
‘Recession” is when your neighbor loses his job.
‘Depression’ is when you lose yours.
‘Recovery’ is when Obama loses his.
Like hell he would. Article I, Section I "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States."
Note how it does NOT say president shares in this legislative function. And altering the Constitution requires an amendment and 3/4ths of the States to ratify.
And only treaties made "under the authority of United States" are constitutional. The general government has no authority to change the constitution on its own or by a treaty. It requires the approval of the People.
Or,
Recession - Obama’s 1st Term
Depression - Dems can’t handle losing 2nd Term, mass unrest/exodus of libs to Europe/Canada, rest lose 2nd Civil War (scared of guns)
Recovery - Rush’s First Term (sarc)

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC today called on the Obama administration to immediately close the southern border and restrict all inbound air and ground traffic from Mexico to emergencies and product delivery — to protect American lives from the Mexican Swine Flu outbreak.
“The Obama administration’s failure to secure our borders against a possible pandemic is putting American lives at risk at a time when days and hours matter,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “The weak and inadequate ‘passive surveillance’ described during Sunday’s press conference is offensive to the rational mind.”
Instead of advising American tourists not to travel to Mexico, or closing border crossings and air travel gates to essential travel only, the Obama administration is treating Mexico like a 51st state, instead of separate nation, opined ALIPAC officials in a press release.
Link?
This would be consistent with 0bama’s transnational socialist agenda.
We must let our elected representatives know, loudly and often, that they CAN NOT sneak around to restrict Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
This is preposterous.
It’s time to take back the country.

i’m 1/3 through and it reads like an all tooo real nightmare.
Reid v. Covert should also be of interest.
1)”this Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty,”
2)”no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.”

Still not something I would let slip under the radar, but not as bad as some make it out to be either. Abrogation of the Constitution by treaty is not something that can be allowed to occur.
